Calcium signalling in chondrogenesis implications for cartilage repair

Matta, Csaba·2013·Frontiers in Bioscience

Abstract

Undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent an important source for cell-based tissue regeneration techniques that require differentiation towards specific lineages, including chondrocytes. Chondrogenesis, the process by which committed mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes, is controlled by complex but not yet completely understood mechanisms that involve many components, including intracellular signalling pathways, as well as plasma membrane receptors and ion channels. Some of these signalling components are Ca2+ sensitive. Although the Ca2+-signalling toolkit of undifferentiated MSCs and mature chondrocytes are extensively studied, the adaptation of these components during differentiation and their role in chondrogenesis is not adequately established. In this review, various aspects of Ca2+ signalling are discussed in MSCs and in mature chondrocytes including spatial and temporal aspects, as well as Ca2+ entry and elimination processes, with implications for their involvement in chondrogenesis. A better understanding of these pathways is envisaged to provide a more efficient differentiation of MSCs towards chondrocytes that may lead to the development of better cartilage tissue engineering techniques.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
